I have a 20" carry-on suitcase and a Britax Marathon car seat. Would anybody know if the car seat will be too long and will drag on the bottom?

Just put the car seat next to your carry on suitcase and see if the top of the seat doesn't extend beyond the half - point of the extended handle. The bottom of the seat should be leveled with the bottom of the suitcase. As long as you can drag the suitcase with the handle extended, it'll be fine.

Should be ok since you will most likely tilt the suitcase to roll it..unless the suitcase has four swivel wheels where it may be difficult to push.

I have used the bag only with the britax marathon 70. Maybe the britax website had a list of seats it fits. I believe it fits all the 70 series rear/forward facing seats but they have a permanently attached base.

Try the Britax Boulevard. The depth of the seat in the Marathon is shorter than the Roundabout. My son is average size, almost three and still has lots of growing room. I love how easily the straps can be raised or lowered (easier than the Marathon) and it has added side impact protection. I have reviews of all three car seats on my profile (just click on my name), with pictures of the Roundabout with a 21 lb baby.

I know this is late to the discussion, but it will help someone in the future. We traveled with that car seat and had no problems. It was difficult to get through security because they had to hand search it, and carrying a car seat onto the plane was bothersome, but the added safety is well worth it. Had no problems getting the car seat to fit once on the plane. Strapped my son in and he slept the either flight.

I have the new click tight Marathon and it fits snug. You have to make sure you have the seat in the bag correctly. It should fit. The box claims that it fits all Britax seats.

It is as long the trunk of my Toyota highlander. Definitely think its too large for a suitcase

I find it kind of cumbersome to use when switching from car to car. I can imagine having to carry through an airport. Love the seat, but it took a little bit for me to get it down to a science. If you have an infant u may want to use a cradle car seat instead.

It will take up about 20% of an average carry on, the only worry I would have it is pretty hard to deflate and you probably need a pump to fill it up too,

It's a pretty big carseat... It may fit, but I would recommend finding something a little smaller.

We tried a Britax Marathon on an airplane in coach and one big concern we had was that our daughters's legs we very close to the seat in front of us. If that person quickly pushed back their seat with a lot of force it appeared that her legs would have been crushed (between the seat and the bottom of the carseat). Thankfully my in-laws were in the seat in front of us so it wasn't an issue, but I would be very panicked of her being injured if somebody put the seat back. The Marathon is smaller than the Boulevard so I think the issue would apply here. From now on we will use one of the harness solutions when we fly.

I travel for a living but I have never traveled with my pack as a carry on when flying. Judging from the size of the seats and the length of the bag I can safely assume the bag will be to long to actually fit under the seat.

Might be a little smooched so if your pet is small it might be ok then once the place gets up just pull it out a little inbetween your legs but the carrier is flexible so as long as your pet doesn't take up the whole carried and it has a good amount of room left over I think it should be fine. I'm comparing it to a bag I just brought on a plane as a carry on that fit under the seat semi smooshed

I don't see why not. With the Britax there was plenty of extra space. My wife has the britax which looks similiar to your graco in body style. I actually have the Graco Nautilus 3-1 which definitely has a bulkier base. Let me know if you want me to test it? But I don't think you'll have a problem. I loved it because it was well under 50 lbs weight limit and I was able to stuff extra diapers and non essentials.

No it doesn't fit down isles, we recently traveled and tried it. I just folded it up before we got on the plane and put it in the car seat while carrying it on, luckily my toddler could walk to our seats.

It didn't work for my 26 pound two year old, honestly they are safer to use an actual car seat or have the child sot in your lap. They sell straps that can attach a car seat to a rolling carry on that make them into a stroller that work great. My suggestion is to get one of those.

I have a 21' Leisure Travel and it fit loosely. It is manufactured with tie-down attached lines in back so that you can cinch it for a tighter fit. I'm pleased with it.

So far we haven't any problems with that. My husband can fit it under the seat but I don't think it's packed as full as it could be. Should be fine in the overhead compartments for sure! We got the 20 Liter Capacity size, not that big. Hope this helps.
